Reaction Steps

21 g (0.17 mol) of dimethyl sulphate are added dropwise with stirring at 20° C. to a solution of 10.5 g (0.17 mol) of dimethyl sulphide in 100 ml of acetonitrile. After standing for 2 days at 20° C., 9.2 g (0.17 mol) of sodium methoxide is added to this solution, the mixture is stirred for 30 minutes at 20° C. and then 29 g (0.09 mol) of 4-chlorophenoxymethyl 1-(4-chlorobenzyl)cycloprop-1-yl ketone are added. After stirring for 16 hours at 20° C., the reaction mixture is poured into water and the mixture is extracted with methylene chloride. The organic phase is washed with water, dried over magnesium sulphate and concentrated under reduced pressure. 25.2 g (80% of theory) of 2-(4-chlorophenoxymethyl)-2-[(4-chlorobenzyl)cycloprop-1-yl]-oxirane are obtained in the form of a colorless oil which is employed for further synthesis without additional purification. ##STR14##
